Genesis 4
1 And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceiveth and beareth Cain, and saith, 'I have gotten a man by Jehovah;'
Alò, lòm nan te vin nan relasyon avèk madanm li, Ève. Li te vin ansent e li te vin kouche fè Cain. Konsa, li te di: “Mwen gen tan fè yon ti nonm avèk èd SENYÈ a:”
2 and she addeth to bear his brother, even Abel. And Abel is feeding a flock, and Cain hath been servant of the ground.
Ankò, li te bay nesans a frè li, Abel. Epi Abel se te yon bèje bann mouton, men Cain t ap laboure tè a.
3 And it cometh to pass at the end of days that Cain bringeth from the fruit of the ground a present to Jehovah;
Li te vin rive pi devan ke Cain te pote yon ofrann bay SENYÈ a, ki sòti nan fwi rekòlt tè a.
4 and Abel, he hath brought, he also, from the female firstlings of his flock, even from their fat ones; and Jehovah looketh unto Abel and unto his present,
Abel, osi, sou pati pa l te pote nan premye pòtre twoupo, e nan pòsyon pi gra a nan yo. Konsa, SENYÈ a te kontan pou Abel avèk ofrann pa l la,
5 and unto Cain and unto his present He hath not looked; and it is very displeasing to Cain, and his countenance is fallen.
men pou Cain, avèk ofrann pa li a, Li pa t kontan. Alò, Cain te vin byen fache, e figi li te vin ba.
6 And Jehovah saith unto Cain, 'Why hast thou displeasure? and why hath thy countenance fallen?
Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Cain: “Poukisa ou fache konsa? Epi poukisa figi ou vin ba konsa?
7 Is there not, if thou dost well, acceptance? and if thou dost not well, at the opening a sin-offering is crouching, and unto thee its desire, and thou rulest over it.'
Si ou fè sa ki bon èske figi ou p ap leve ankò? Epi si ou pa fè sa ki bon, peche ap kouche devan papòt ou. Dezi li se pou ou, men ou oblije vin mèt li.”
8 And Cain saith unto Abel his brother, ['Let us go into the field;'] and it cometh to pass in their being in the field, that Cain riseth up against Abel his brother, and slayeth him.
Cain te di frè l la, Abel, “An ale nan chan.” Epi li te vin rive ke pandan yo te nan chan an, Cain te leve kont Abel, frè l la, e li te touye li.
9 And Jehovah saith unto Cain, 'Where [is] Abel thy brother?' and he saith, 'I have not known; my brother's keeper — I?'
Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Cain: “Kote frè ou a, Abel?” Epi li te di: “Mwen pa konnen. Èske mwen se gadyen frè m nan?”
10 And He saith, 'What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood is crying unto Me from the ground;
Li te di: “Kisa ou te fè la a? Vwa san a frè ou a ap rele ban Mwen sòti nan tè a.
11 and now, cursed [art] thou from the ground, which hath opened her mouth to receive the blood of thy brother from thy hand;
Koulye a ou modi, soti nan tè a, ki te ouvri bouch li pou resevwa san Abel nan men ou an.
12 when thou tillest the ground, it doth not add to give its strength to thee — a wanderer, even a trembling one, thou art in the earth.'
Depi koulye a, lè ou kiltive tè a, li p ap bay ou fòs li ankò. Ou va vin yon vagabon k ap mache toupatou sou latè.”
13 And Cain saith unto Jehovah, 'Greater is my punishment than to be borne;
Cain te di a SENYÈ a: “Pinisyon mwen an twò di pou m sipòte!
14 lo, Thou hast driven me to-day from off the face of the ground, and from Thy face I am hid; and I have been a wanderer, even a trembling one, in the earth, and it hath been — every one finding me doth slay me.'
Byen gade! Jodi a ou gen tan pouse m kite sifas tè a. Konsa, fas ou p ap wè m; mwen va vin yon vagabon k ap plede mache toupatou sou latè, e nenpòt moun ki jwenn mwen va touye m.”
15 And Jehovah saith to him, 'Therefore — of any slayer of Cain sevenfold it is required;' and Jehovah setteth to Cain a token that none finding him doth slay him.
Alò, SENYÈ a te di li: “Pou sa, nenpòt moun ki touye Cain, vanjans va tonbe sou li sèt fwa plis.” Epi SENYÈ a te chwazi yon sign pou Cain, dekwa ke pèsòn ki jwenn li pa ta touye l.
16 And Cain goeth out from before Jehovah, and dwelleth in the land, moving about east of Eden;
Konsa, Cain te sòti de prezans SENYÈ a, e li te al rete sou teren Nod nan pati lès Eden an.
17 and Cain knoweth his wife, and she conceiveth, and beareth Enoch; and he is building a city, and he calleth the name of the city, according to the name of his son — Enoch.
Cain te antre an relasyon avèk madanm li. Li te vin ansent, e li te bay nesans a Hénoc; epi li te bati yon vil. Li te bay vil la non Henoc, menm non ak fis li a.
18 And born to Enoch is Irad; and Irad hath begotten Mehujael; and Mehujael hath begotten Methusael; and Methusael hath begotten Lamech.
Alò, Hénoc te fè Irad, e Irad te devni papa a Mehujaël, Mehujaël te vin papa a Metuschaël, e Metuschaël te vin papa a Lémec.
19 And Lamech taketh to himself two wives, the name of the one Adah, and the name of the second Zillah.
Lémec te pran pou li de madanm: youn yo te rele Ada, e non a lòt la se te Tsilla.
20 And Adah beareth Jabal, he hath been father of those inhabiting tents and purchased possessions;
Ada te bay nesans a Jabal. Li te papa a tout sila ki te rete nan tant yo, e ki te okipe bèt yo.
21 and the name of his brother [is] Jubal, he hath been father of every one handling harp and organ.
Frè li a te rele Jubal. Li te papa a tout sila ki te jwe ap avèk shaloumo yo.
22 And Zillah she also bare Tubal-Cain, an instructor of every artificer in brass and iron; and a sister of Tubal-Cain [is] Naamah.
Epi pou Tsilla, li te bay nesans a Tubal-Cain, yon bòs fòjewon ki fè zouti avèk bwonz ak fè. Sè a Tubal Cain an se te Naama.
23 And Lamech saith to his wives: — 'Adah and Zillah, hear my voice; Wives of Lamech, give ear [to] my saying: For a man I have slain for my wound, Even a young man for my hurt;
Lémec te di a madanm li yo: “Ada avèk Tsilla, koute vwa m. Nou menm ki madanm a Lémec yo; byen okipe pawòl mwen. Paske mwen te touye yon mesye akoz ke li blese m; e yon gason akoz li frape m.
24 For sevenfold is required for Cain, And for Lamech seventy and sevenfold.'
Si Cain vanje sèt fwa, alò Lémec swasann-dis-sèt fwa.”
25 And Adam again knoweth his wife, and she beareth a son, and calleth his name Seth, 'for God hath appointed for me another seed instead of Abel:' for Cain had slain him.
Adam te antre an relasyon ankò avèk madanm li, epi li te bay nesans a yon fis. Li te rele li Seth, paske li te di “Bondye te chwazi ban mwen yon lòt fis nan plas Abel, paske Cain te touye li”.
26 And to Seth, to him also a son hath been born, and he calleth his name Enos; then a beginning was made of preaching in the name of Jehovah.
Pou Seth, li menm, li te bay nesans a yon fis, epi li te rele non li Énosch. Nan lè sa a, lèzòm te kòmanse ap rele non SENYÈ a.
